Spring Path is a short path that leads to Turnback Cave after the player defeats the Elite Four. In Diamond and Pearl, Turnback Cave is where the player will locate Giratina.

In Platinum, the path is slightly more significant to the plot. After returning from the Distortion World, the player appears - with Cynthia - at Spring Path. Later on in the game, Spring Path again leads to the Turnback Cave, which this time leads to an opening in the Distortion World. This is where the player can retrieve the Griseous Orb to transform Giratina into its Origin Forme.
